4.2 Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed

Exposure Routes: inhalation, ingestion, skin and/or eye contact Symptoms: Irritation eyes, skin, respiratory system; numb mucous membrane; nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain; muscle tremor, incoordination, clonic convulsions, stupor Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system (NIOSH, 2016)

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Rotenone and related compounds/

12.Ecological information

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: LC50; Species: Lepomis macrochirus (Bluegill) weight 1-1.5 g; Conditions: freshwater, static, 12°C, pH 8.0, hardness 300 mg/L CaCO3, alkalinity 225-245 mg/L CaCO3, dissolved oxygen >60%; Concentration: 138 ug/L for 24 hr (95% confidence interval: 125-152 ug/L) /5% purity emulsifiable concentrate
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: EC50; Species: Daphnia magna (Water flea) age <24 hr; Conditions: freshwater, static; Concentration: 27.5 ug/L for 24 hr (95% confidence interval: 23.9-31.6 ug/L); Effect: intoxication, immobilization /formulation
• Toxicity to algae: EC50; Species: Scenedesmus subspicatus (Green Algae); Conditions: freshwater, static; Concentration: 240000 ug/L for 49-79 min; Effect: decreased population photosynthesis /100% purity
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: In southern Italy, two types of soil samples spiked with rotenone, a silt clay loam and a loamy soil, underwent degradation experiments in dark conditions at 10-20°C. The results indicated that half-life values for rotenone were 8 days in the silt clay loam soil and 5 days in the loamy soil at 20°C. At 10°C however, the half-lives were 25 days for silt clay loam soil and 21 for the loamy soil(1). Rotenone is listed as one of the organic substances which may be degraded during aerobic and anaerobic sewage treatment if adequate acclimatization can be achieved; much depends on the concentration to be treated and possibly on the temperature during treatment(2).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

A study showed that when yearling bluegills (Lepomis macrochirus) were exposed to 5.2 ug/L of rotenone for 30 days in a continuous flow system, bioconcentration factors for the head, viscera, and carcass were 165, 3,500, and 125, respectively(4). According to a classification scheme(3), bioconcentation factors of 100-100 are high and >1000 are very high(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of rotenone is estimated as approximately 3,200(SRC), using a measured log Kow of 4.10(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that rotenone is expected to have slight mobility in soil(SRC). The Kd values of rotenone were determined in 2 different soil types from Southern Italy. In the adsorption experiment Kd values were 0.56 and 2.73 L/kg for silt clay loam and loamy soil respectively, and the degradation rates were 0.102 and 0.074 d-1 for soils at 20°C(4).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
